Comparison of early results between bone-conserving and conventional high-flexion posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Title : Comparison of early results between bone-conserving and conventional high-flexion posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare early clinical and radiographic results between bone-conserving and conventional high-flexion posterior-stabilized TKRA. Two hundred and eighty-five patients (477 knees; mean age, 68.7 years) received a NexGen Legacy posterior-stabilized high-flex (NexGen LPS-Flex) TKA and 280 patients (472 knees; mean age, 70.1 years) received a Freedom posterior-stabilized prosthesis. The mean follow-up was 3.5 (range, 2 to 5 years) for each group. The present study suggests that the early clinical and radiographic results of the bone-conserving Freedom TKA were similar to those of the conventional NexGen LPS-Flex TKA.
